Maksim Zhaunerchyk is a
product of Soligorsk football. He started playing for FC Shakhtyor Reserves in the home town in 2003. He was
noticed by BATE scouts and in 2004 he moved to the Yellow-Blues. And already in
2005 was a part of the first BATE squad, gradually becoming a regular in Igor Kriushenko team.

Viktar Hancharenka, BATE's next head coach,
contributed to Maksim's progress. Hancharenka knew the player's potential very
well as he previously had been the Reserves coach and already had had perfect
experience of working with Zhaunerchyk.

The
player's strong sides are shrewd tackling, perfect understanding of the game.
His shooting abilities from long range and scoring goals are well-known as
well. Versatility of the player is also impressive: Zhaunerchyk was able to
play in any position in the midfield, and playing in Russian premier league he
also switched to full-back position and managed to play as a full-back in the
Belarusian national team.

That match
was the last one for Zhaunerchyk
for FC BATE Borisov. After a minor dispute with the coaching staff Maksim moved
to Russian FC Kuban Krasnodar. There Zhaunerchyk plays since 2009. There he continued
progressing together with the team. In 2010 Kuban got promoted into the elite
division of Russian football, where they are playing since then. And Maksim was
an important part of the squad.

However, in 2014 he lost his first-team position and decided to accept another BATE invitation. The Yellow-Blues lost Zhaunerchyk's friend and fellow defender Anri Khagush, and this position was successfully filled up by Max in January 2015.
